“Nice little Dive Bar that I usually stop in once or twice a year. No food but good local craft beer and free pour drinks. Friendly vibe and bar shuffle board table.”

“I am leaving a production catering review. My Kitchen Witch provided catering to a large production crew and security where I work (a large historical building on Wall Street). I couldn't believe how quick and professional that My Kitchen Witch was in set-up, the meals, and the breakdown of their service. The food was excellent, especially the pork carnitas and Mexican street corn! I definitely highly recommend and would love to head to their cafe in Monmouth Beach, New Jersey!”

“During our short stay in the area, we chose to dine here as it was one of the few restaurants open on a Monday. We had an excellent meal, with starter and main course which were delicious. The staff were friendly, helpful and very caring towards my elderly mother. Thank you in particular to Adam for his help with organising the taxi for us .”

“I searched for a restaurant in Asbury that offered vegan, gluten free options and came across Reyla’s. I’m so happy I found this gem! I truly appreciate the thought that went in to create these dishes. Most restaurants don’t put much thought into offerings for people with dietary restrictions. There was something for everyone in our party. Every dish is thoughtfully crafted with an amazing flavor profile and presentation. We all loved each dish including dessert. Jules was our delightful server who was attentive, professional and great at her job.”

“Delicious meal from start to finish! Don’t skip dessert ?”

“The food was great, the atmosphere was excellent. Next time I'm back east, I'll be eating here again.”

“Such a great experience! Loved the delicious food choices and the service and presentation was top notch!! I highly recommend it!!”

“I’ve been about 5 times so far and LOVE Emelio’s! The food is fresh and delicious and the portions generous. Even their simple side salad is something special - delicious, light dressing. And the service is great, which is hard to come by these days. It’s clearly a family-run place where Everyone cares about the quality. Also impeccably clean!”

“My family wanted indian after apple picking and we couldn’t find a place until I looked up Indian and found them. It said 5 stars and the ratings were not wrong. This restaurant was absolutely amazing. The food was excellent and there were so many choices. All of the food was worth it. I’ve been to many Indian restaurants and this place is in my top 3. The owner is such an amazing, hardworking, and sweet woman. She told us her story about for 20 years she’s wanted to have a restaurant yet she took the time to support and take care of her kids. It was heartwarming. She also told us a story of a father and a daughter who were starving and came to the door after close hoping they didn’t close yet. The chefs left, but she didn’t want them hungry. She still let them in and she cooked dinner for them and didn’t let them pay. It was for free. She expresses how being able to give food is a blessing and the biggest reward is being able to give food for people in need and feeding the people. She deserves this restaurant. Not only is she an amazing woman, but the bigger plus is the food is absolutely amazing. The naan, aloo papri chaat, chicken tikka masala, lamb rogan josh, lamb tikka masala, paneer tikka masala. All of it was amazing and so flavorful. For the spice levels my brother and I got medium and my parents got medium plus and the spice levels were perfect.”

“First time trying Turkish food!
Omg! 10/10 meat was delicious; we got the grill mixed to share for 3 ppl. The dessert was to die for it! All of the desserts are home made and u can actually tell! So fresh.”

“The best vegan, gluten free ice cream and baked goods in NJ! It’s a safe space for a child or person with allergies to sit and eat a delicious treat. Every one will enjoy the ice cream!!! The owners are always friendly and welcoming.”

“Soul Kitchen is amazing! Our students love working with the great staff and always feel welcome and learn great skills and life lessons. The student favorite part of the soul Kitchen experience is of course the delicious food made by Chef Emily and her staff. The Matawan Regional staff and students want to thank Bon Jovi and all his supporters for a great experience and relationship!”

“I haven't been inside in quite awhile, but I've had the food recently, & it was just as great as I remembered it!”

“I REALLY want to give this place a 5. The ambience, decor, vibes, workers, etc are all so wonderful. They have a shelf of free needs. They have awesome movies playing, tons of board games, and a million other cool things..In general, I love everything about this place...except the food - this does not count the bakery stuff, which are all yummy and scrumptious.

I've been there 3 times now, though, and the food has ranged from mid to miss, which is really unfortunate. There's just too many elite vegan places around the area as well, so I generally don't choose this place as a 1st option.

So, I'd say if you're looking for a treat and some coffee and a place to hang, this place is unbeatable. If you're looking for a vegan meal up to par with this area, I can't honestly reccomend it.”

“Very friendly staff very good food priced right”

“We loved it. Perfect after a day at the beach 🏖 Try the Root beer…”

“Frequent customer, but always blown away with the freshness of their summer menu. The shrimply the best tacos, which was originally on a tostada last summer, was just as amazing, but didn’t sit as heavy as a tostada. Love the move to a light tortilla. The Mexi-Avo toast was so filling and the flavors melted together so nicely. Don’t forget the decor inside is so cozy, boho/havana vibe and perfect for a date or girl’s brunch. 10/10”

“Really great sushi and perfect service!”

“Food was excellent and great service”
